When the mission to destroy an enemy ammunition dump goes dangerously wrong, Sloan finds himself captured and forced into a desperate gambit involving a radio broadcast, with allies Sayta and the revelation of a traitor named Zena threatening everything the patriots have fought for. Sloan's quick thinking and nerve under fire become the only chance to turn the tables before the situation spirals beyond recovery.

Raw, unglamorous combat where holding the line means everything.
